When Qian Qianyi heard this, he looked up and recognized his family in Changshu, and couldn't help frowning, and his intuition told him that it was related to Zhang Pu.

However, he was also a little strange, in the previous will, Changshu was not a place where Zhang Pu patrolled, how could he go?

When he was thinking about it, on the street, under the attention of a crowd, the person who came had already galloped forward, almost climbed off the horse, rushed to Qian Qianyi, and said eagerly with panic: "Master, Zhang Pu...... It was Zhang Pu's dog official who suddenly arrived at the Changshu County Ya, and sealed the treasury, and was calling for manpower, which was aimed at our Qian family. ”

When Qian Qianyi heard it, it was really that Zhang Pu who went, and he couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, and at the same time, he was also a little confused: "What did the county magistrate Pan Xiuwen say, can there be a verification document?" ”

When Pan Xiuwen went to Changshu County to be an official, he naturally wanted to visit Qian Qianyi, and it didn't matter if he had to find a relationship to get closer to Qian Qianyi, therefore, even if he was Qian Qianyi's person, he believed that as soon as Zhang Pu arrived in Changshu County, he would definitely report to the Qian family, and he was on the side of the Qian family.

Hearing this, the family hurriedly replied: "It was Pan Xianzun who sent someone to inform him, saying that the emperor's will had agreed to Wu Xun's request, and the two of them changed the jurisdiction of the patrol, and that Zhang Pu immediately extracted our Qian family's land account books and other related documents, which was for our Qian family......

"I'm so angry with the old man, I was secretly Chen Cang by two juniors!" Qian Qianyi didn't wait for him to finish, he blew his beard and glared at him, and said unusually angrily, "I thought that Wu Changshi was an acquaintance, but he was also helping him in secret, so good, seeing the old man being dismissed, he didn't take the old man seriously......"

Seeing him like this, Liu Ru on the side was a little anxious, afraid that he would be angry again, so he hurriedly pulled down Qian Qianyi's sleeve and signaled to him that this was on the street, and everyone was watching.

After looking at Liu Rus, and then turning his head to look at the lively passers-by on the street, Qian Qianyi tried to calm down, and immediately instructed the servant: "Prepare the boat immediately, and the old man must rush back as soon as possible!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Ruyi again, and squeezed out a rare smile, stroked Liu Ruyi's hand and said, "This matter has to be rushed back by the old man himself." You go and tell Chaozong, and say that the old man can't go to the appointment, and we'll meet another day! ”

This time he went out to play, he brought Liu Rushi here, and Hou Fangyu brought Li Xiangjun on his side. Therefore, he has such an explanation.

At this time, Liu Ru had not yet set a name with Qian Qianyi, so it was inconvenient to go with him. However, he also admired Qian Qianyi's literary brilliance, so he was a little worried about him, so he told him: "Be careful, Mr. has no official position now......

How can he be looked down upon by the woman he likes, Qian Qianyi listened to it, and immediately interrupted: "It's okay, the wind and waves are strong, the old man is here, I don't believe this time, what can the old man do!" ”

After finishing speaking, he was anxious about Changshu, so he didn't say more, immediately cleaned up briefly, and hurried to the wharf of Yangzhou Mansion, where his own boat could go directly down the river and rush to Changshu County.

But when he first arrived at the dock, he heard a cry behind him, and when he turned around, it was Hou Fangyu who came. Seeing that after he arrived closer, he immediately saluted Qian Qianyi, and at the same time said loudly as if he was full of righteous indignation: "Mr. Yushan, Zhang Pu is the enemy of you and me, please bring the students and deal with him together!" ”

In the farce of Qiuyue Pavilion, he and Qian Qianyi were both cleaned up by Zhang Pu. After the news got out, the reputations of both of them were more or less affected. But in this way, the relationship between the two of them became closer. When Hou Fangyu heard the news, he immediately rushed over, wanting to deal with Zhang Pu with Qian Qianyi.

In fact, Hou Fangyu actually knew that with his own words, no matter his background or ability, he could not be Zhang Pu's opponent. Only by relying on Qian Qianyi could he repay the humiliation of Qiuyue Pavilion. Therefore, he didn't even care about Li Xiangjun, and rushed over as soon as possible.

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Qian Qianyi immediately nodded and said, "Okay, go on the boat with the old man!" ”

Speaking of this, he thought of something, so he added: "Wait for this matter, the old man personally cheered for the court, and in the future, if you are not the fourth son of the Restoration Society, you will lead the Restoration Society, the old man believes that you have this talent!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was an unexpected joy! So, he immediately thanked Qian Qianyi.

After a hurried politeness, the two got on the boat and headed straight for Changshu.

Two days later, Qian Qianyi rushed to Changshu, but he did not show up immediately, just like when Zhang Pu first came, he hid on the boat and sent someone to learn about the latest situation.

Soon, the Qian family came and told Qian Qianyi that under the threat of Dongchang, Pan Zhixian and others did not dare to disobey. These days, the inspector has personally supervised them, and they have gone down to the local area to inspect the grain fields, and the family has been dragging it, but more than half of the inspection has been done.

also told Qian Qianyi that this Zhang Xunji was very cunning, and he personally watched it, even at the expense of watching it in person, and he couldn't do a lot of hands and feet, and the family was in a hurry, and a third wave of people had been sent to find Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi was in a hurry to come back, so he missed two groups of people looking for him, but he didn't care about these anymore. After asking about the situation in Changshu in detail, he sneered and said, "Zhang Pu'er, since the old man has come back, how can he allow you to be arrogant!" ”

It is true that he is talented and learned, he is so old, and it is true that he has experience, and some of the Taoists in the officialdom are even much clearer than Zhang Pu. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to think of a way, and immediately sneered and said: "Zhang Pu'er, dare to come to Changshu to find trouble, this time, you will definitely not be able to leave!" ”

"Mr. Yu Shan, I don't know what to do to deal with this rampant child?" Hou Fangyu on the side couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

He also heard the conversation and knew what was going on in Changshu, but he couldn't think of anything to do.

Qian Qianyi had already thought of a way to deal with Zhang Pu, and he was not in a hurry, stroked his beard, and said in a cold voice: "You don't need any advanced strategies, deal with Zhang Pu'er, just do it according to the precedent." Speaking of which, hehe, Zhang Pu'er still became famous with this back then, this time, let him taste it too! ”

"To be famous?" Hou Fangyu couldn't understand it, muttered a sentence, and then suddenly came to his senses, and immediately said, ""The Tombstone of Five People, Mr. Yu Shan said, just follow the example of the past, incite the people's rebellion, and the law does not blame the public?" ”

Qian Qianyi didn't answer, just stroked his beard, with a little smugness, and nodded.

Thus, a conspiracy against Zhang Pu began.

Soon, there were rumors circulating in Changshu County.

"You don't know, this Zhang Xun is on an errand by order, and he wants to collect all the arrears, and if anyone doesn't pay the arrears, he will be forced to sell his land and sell his house."

"How not? You don't know, this Zhang Xun was born to a cheap maid, and he will do everything to climb up, whether it is his same year or a friend, as long as he hinders him from climbing up, he will not hesitate to betray him secretly. ”

"Don't you know? Back then, this Zhang Xun was lowly according to his status, and he couldn't even make up the money for the exam, it was his confidante who gave him his redemption money, but guess what, after he won the Jinshi, he abandoned his confidante, so he didn't know him, so he had to go to his confidante and live on the street, and finally died tragically! ”

"This time Zhang Xunpress made a military order in front of the emperor, you understand the military order, if you can't finish it, you will cut off your head, this Zhang Xunpress in order to show in front of the emperor, he promised the emperor that he would definitely collect all the arrears. So, do you think he doesn't care if you have money or not, and he will definitely force the common people to sell their sons and daughters to pay off this debt! ”

“……”

These rumors, some true and some false, true and false, are difficult to distinguish between the people who usually only live in Changshu County and only operate within a radius of 1,200 miles at the farthest. As a result, many people are worried.

The mentality of just watching the drama quietly changed, and began to be hostile to Zhang Pu and his party, and under the rumors, they further instigated their confrontational emotions.

These are still among the common people, and it seems that it is not unusual for them to be deceived by these rumors if they have no knowledge.

However, among those literati in Changshu County, rumors began to circulate. However, these rumors have a different emphasis.

"You don't know, Zhang Xun according to the preferential and exemption limit for this verification, if he finds out, it will not only be to make up the arrears, but also to remove his fame!"

"Why, don't you believe me? Have you heard about the matter of Yangzhou Qiuyue Pavilion? This Zhang Xunpress, who doesn't care about the tacit understanding in the officialdom at all, is a cool official. It's just that he went to the land of wind and moon to chant poems against him, and he ran to arrest people on the spot, that majesty, he was afraid that others would know that he was born of a cheap maid. ”

"I've also heard that it is said that those officials in the Autumn Moon Pavilion have been dismissed by him. and those scholars present, who were also remembered by him, on the side of literature and politics, their fame was removed, saying that they were not worthy of becoming officials in the future! ”

"Yes, I've heard about it too, so this time he came to Changshu, if he caught something other than preferential exemption, he would definitely do the same, he was a real cool official. In order to tie up with the emperor, everyone like Mr. Yushan dares to lose, and they will care about ordinary scholars like us! ”

“……”

What do readers care about most? It's nothing more than fame. These rumors have tied up their fame, even if some scholars don't believe it very much, but this is related to their future, how can they not care, of course, they would rather believe it or not.

As a result, the readers in Changshu County and even the surrounding counties began to worry, and many readers who were originally just watching dramas also began to change their mentality and hated Zhang Pu and his party.

If these things can be discovered in time and responded to in time, there may be nothing wrong.

However, Zhang Pu and his entourage are all outsiders, so they are relatively slow to understand the local situation. By the time they find out that something is wrong, it's serious.

"What?" Zhang Pu was so angry that he slapped the table, made a "pop" sound, and asked loudly, "Is it really such a rumor outside?" ”

The servant who came to report nodded and said affirmatively: "The real situation may be even more exaggerated than what his subordinates said!" ”

In the past few days, Jiang Dong has keenly found that whether it is those officials or the people he sees on the road, whether they are wearing silk and satin or coarse linen clothes, their eyes have changed a little, and he felt that something was wrong, so he told him about it.

Zhang Pu was a little disappreciative at first, and he said affirmatively: "We have been here for several days, and Qian Qianyi must have heard the news and rushed here, it is absolutely inevitable that he is doing ghosts behind his back." But we are doing things according to orders, and he Qian Qianyi has lost his official position, what else can he do? ”

Jiang Dong was still a little worried, so he sent plainclothes subordinates out to inquire about the news, and only then did he learn about the situation.

At this time, after Zhang Pu was confirmed, after calming down a little, he immediately understood what Qian Qianyi was thinking, after all, he was on the opposite side back then, and he knew what would happen next.

Therefore, he immediately said to Jiang Dong: "This matter must not be left unattended, the Suzhou riots in the Wanli period are a lesson from the past." ”

Jiang Dong actually didn't know about this matter, first, he was from the north, and second, at that time, he was not from Dongchang, nor was he from the government. However, Zhang Pu is very clear that for this reason, he has written a "Tombstone of Five People" to make a name for himself.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked for red paper and began to write announcements. Jiang Dong watched from the side and found that Zhang Pu wanted to tell the people and those scholars that in the emperor's will this time, there was an explanation, and the investigation was to investigate and deal with more than 100 acres of grain fields. This is very important.

The emperor's will, in the north, actually does not need Zhang Pu to write a notice to inform it, and the streets and alleys can know it. But here in the south of the Yangtze River, it is far away from Beijing, and some local officials even deliberately blurred the lower limit of 100 acres of this grain field when they conveyed their will. Therefore, the people did not know that Zhang Pu did not pay attention to this for a while.

In his opinion, as long as this matter is told to the people and those scholars, there are absolutely only a few people in the south who have more than 100 acres of grain fields. And after there are so few opponents, he is not afraid at all.

However, after the notice was posted, the effect was not good.

This time, Jiang Dong sent his subordinates, plainclothes to secretly investigate the situation.

As a result, it was found that there were rumors saying that this was not true, it was Zhang Xun's reading that the situation was not good, and he was afraid of causing public anger, so he temporarily compiled this content, just to follow everyone's hearts, don't fall for him.
